The game's story is described as engaging and entertaining, set against the backdrop of World War II, with players progressing through a series of missions that keep them wanting more. While the narrative is simple and somewhat kid-friendly, it effectively draws players in, encouraging them to continue playing through its various levels and missions. However, some reviewers noted that the story could benefit from more depth and clearer communication of objectives.
- “The story is entertaining and despite being kid-friendly, Days of Heroes is a fantastic ride that you hope never ends.”
- “I had so much fun playing this; it drops you in the beginning of WWII and you fight your way to waypoints to further your missions.”
- “It's a neat little game that delivers what it promises (regarding the pictures) but not more: simple graphics, many different levels, kind of a storyline, and it can make you want to play just one more level and then maybe another one.”
- “Also, I was genuinely impressed at how many missions there were in the game, and even though they are actually chapters/subsections of one same mission for the most part, in one case so far an outright cutscene where I was sitting in a paratrooper plane doing nothing in lieu of a mission.”
- “Short missions make you want to achieve more in the story.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable, offering a straightforward experience that runs smoothly, though it lacks the depth of more acclaimed titles like Half-Life: Alyx. While it effectively communicates its mechanics, there are areas for improvement, such as damage feedback and clearer objectives. Overall, the game emphasizes gameplay over set pieces, providing more replay value than initially anticipated.
- “The weapon mechanics are simple, and it runs smoothly.”
- “It's the conceptual opposite of MOH:AA, gameplay-centric rather than set pieces-centric, done by a studio I've never heard of before, with 2020 VR norms and approach in mind rather than 2016.”
- “It's all about gameplay, and at that, I think it's actually got more replay value than what I expected, above and beyond what seemed to rely on set pieces a bit too much.”
- “Of course, it's far from being Half-Life Alyx and does not offer deep mechanics.”
- “If anything, the game is either clever at communicating its mechanics or a misery at it.”
- “Ultimately, if I think there's room for improvement, it's about damage feedback to the player, translation fixes, communicating objectives and cues more effectively, and my personal wishlist to have the ability to pick your loadout upon starting a mission, and perhaps a skirmish mode not unlike TF2's control point mechanics for renewable gameplay.”

- “The weapon mechanics are simple, and it runs smoothly.”
- “There is no actual texture work at play beyond a simple RGBA voxelized modeling, but that means that performance on the headset (I use a Rift S) will be extremely optimized.”

The graphics of the game are described as simple yet effective, delivering what is promised without exceeding expectations. While the visuals support the gameplay across various levels and a storyline, they are contrasted with the disappointing performance and loading times of the official mohaab title.
- “It's a neat little game that delivers what it promises in terms of graphics. The visuals are simple yet effective, complementing the many different levels and storyline, making you want to play just one more level.”
- “The graphics are a significant improvement compared to the previous title, showcasing better stability and a more polished visual experience.”
- “Considering how the official Mohaab title came out to be, the loading screen duration, stability, disk space, graphics, and means are all the polar opposite of the former.”

The music in the game is described as a mix of uninspired and unique elements, fitting the era's theme but lacking the depth to fully engage players. While it avoids direct competition with renowned composers like Michael Giacchino, many players find themselves wishing for a more impactful soundtrack, even considering the possibility of replacing it with music from other games.
- “The soundtrack is a perfect blend of personality and atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience of the game.”
- “The music fits beautifully with the theme of the era, creating an immersive experience that resonates with players.”
- “While it may not compete with the greats, the soundtrack has its own charm that adds to the game's unique identity.”
- “Sound-wise, the OST is actually halfway uninspired, halfway full of personality but with little means to achieve its full potential.”
- “It didn't try to be an unskilled attempt at competing with Michael Giacchino; it is more modest and fits with the theme of the era, but ultimately leaves me craving for the ability to mod in MOHAA's OST into it.”
